I think her radically religious foreign policy is that she will get a free pass to the afterlife by using America as the war machine that will rebuild the MiddleEast in a matter which is consistent with her biblical belief that she shares with Hagee.

That's quite an interesting take on Palin's possible foreign policy. If we suppose she actually believes that stuff, then I suppose it would be interesting to speculate what she'd do if somebody managed to convince Commander in Chief Palin that some Middle Eastern battle or other was a fulfillment of end-times prophecy.

But of course, all that assumes Palin actually buys into that particular brand of end-times hysteria. I think it makes for fine campfire ghost stories, and like any of us Ms. Palin might well get a delicious thrill from the thought that it's true.

But I seriously doubt that she believes it enough to try to act on it in real life ... and it's highly unlikely that Congress would allow her to get away with it in any case.

Looking at it a different way, there's an interesting parallel between Palin and the beliefs we can impute to her from her choice of churches; and what beliefs we can impute to Obama because he attended Rev. Wright's church. I suspect that although they both have a general affinity for the tone and beliefs of their respective churches, neither of them fully buys into the rhetoric coming from the pulpit.

I doubt it as well. I think Sarah Palin will make not only an excellent domestic POTUS, but one of the best foreign policy leaders and CinCs we have ever had. She has principles, she believes America deserves its role as premier sovereign nation, and she is cool-headed, smart, and a fast learner too.

Sadly, I can see the left and the Republican establishment using this issue you bring up to paint her as an Armageddon nutjob a la Ahmanijihad. I trust she is anticipating that slander and has a plan ready to counteract it.
